I haven't watched many Kdramas, but I think Love Revolution seriously needs a second season. So much was just not wrapped up with the secondary characters. So sad!

PPL is something I'm getting used to, but sometimes it's just bizarre. The Medent toothpaste PPL in Why R U makes me laugh though.

This drama takes dedication, but I'm finally past the halfway point. Started watching for Z. Tao, ended up staying for Liu Yu Ning. Go figure!

They decided to annoy me right at the end. I HATE the ex comes back to make trouble trope. HATE IT.

He cuts his bangs halfway through and the hairstyle really was an important part of the character's storyline, plus it made him look mysterious, so I didn't mind it. He was cute anyway.

I've missed Yamapi so much!

There's a reason why she drops the SML. She's the type of girl who wants someone who follows through on what he's feeling and doesn't back out halfway, which is what happened to her with the SML. I love him, buuuuuuuut, he put his career ahead of a romantic relationship whereas the ML pretty much wasn't going to make the same mistake. I'd have picked the ML too in those circumstances.

It's actually a great drama. You should at least give it a try, remembering that it's a slow-build. It was fun for me, anyway, loved probably 80% of it.

Excited to see how Park Ji Hoon does with this role. I think it'll be a stretch for him and will prove whether he's a multi-faceted actor or not. I'm good either way since I just like him.

It'll be good to see if he can stretch himself then and give that type of performance. He might surprise fans.

12 episodes in now. The FL gets annoying and then less so. They seem to have a decent balance as to how far to push with her attitude before backing off.

My main issue atm is the lipstick they put Park Ji Hoon in. I mean, it doesn't even go with his skin tone. 😳 I'm sure they put Jdrama actors in lipstick too, but the color always seems natural, never BOOM, HE'S WEARING LIPSTICK. So the blatant lipstick on men is taking some adjusting.

Well, I don't know if I'll keep watching, but episode 1 made me laugh so hard I scared my cat off the end of the bed. So that's definitely something. It just seems so stinking cute!

Yeah, no, there's no fairytale happily ever after for people with certain types of disorders. That literally is nothing but a fairytale. Thanks for your honest review. I'm still trying to decide if I want to watch this one or not, but I'm leaning towards nope. I feel that people can heal from physical abuse like in At a Distance, Spring is Green, but genuine disorders are a whole other thing.

Thanks for your honesty. Now I feel like I should watch it just to see if I can spot the narcissism. I don't suppose this is presented more as a cautionary tale? Because if it's not presenting narcissists as dangerous, well, that's definitely a problem.

There is also the possibility that there are a lot of other genres/tags out there for people to watch and enjoy. And that they should be allowed to try something, find out they don't like it and try something else. Not loving this drama does not immediately translate to someone having the mentality of a child. I'm just saying that someone should be able to say they don't get the hype of a certain popular drama without being told that they should plug in Cinderella because that's clearly more their speed.

Well, that's just sad. I just now realized that my completed list has pretty much nothing in the "friends to lovers" department. Oh, there are the pinings of one-sided love that goes nowhere, usually from the SML (I'm looking at YOU "The Love Equations"), but nothing that's a true friends-to-lovers story.

I'll probably try some of these since I really like the idea and I am genuinely trying to be intentional about trying Kdramas, but does anyone also have Jdrama recs?

I'm super happy to report that I actually really liked this one a lot. AND, I get why Manaha chose who she did. I wouldn't have made her choice, but that's totally me, and not her. It was really a pretty sweet drama overall. And now I have to find more from Itagaki Mizuki. 😘

Does he look too skinny to anyone else? The bird of prey look doesn't work for me.

Ok, I now have a reason to resubscribe to Netflix. Watching the original right now and it's fun, but I'm really wanting to see what Saint does with the role.
